Government Contracts Scraper - SAM.gov, USAspending & Grants.gov

Find US federal contract opportunities on SAM.gov (with contracting officer contacts and attachments), past contract awards from USAspending.gov (who won, how much, which agency) and federal grants from Grants.gov - with the same keywords and filters, in one run and one clean schema. No API key, no SAM.gov account. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, schedule it daily, or call it as an API.

What you get

• SAM.gov opportunities: title, notice type (solicitation, presolicitation, sources sought, award notice...), solicitation number, agency / sub-agency / office, posted and updated dates, response deadline, set-aside, NAICS, PSC, place of performance, contacts (name, email, phone), full description, attachment download links, and the awardee + amount on award notices.
• USAspending.gov awards: Award ID, recipient (name, UEI, link), amount, outlays, awarding and funding agency, period of performance, award type, NAICS and PSC with descriptions, place of performance - largest awards first.
• Grants.gov opportunities: number, title, agency, status (forecasted/posted/closed), dates, award ceiling and floor, estimated funding, number of awards, eligible applicants, eligibility details, description, agency contact.

Why this scraper

• Three official sources, one run, one schema - competitors cover one site each.
• Lead-ready SAM.gov rows: contracting officer emails and phones plus attachment links.
• No API key needed and no rate-limit setup. Fast, no browser.
• Filters that matter to BD teams: NAICS, set-asides (SBA, 8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone), states, notice types, updated-since and deadline windows, award amount, agencies and recipients.

Use cases

• Daily bid alerts for your NAICS codes and set-asides (schedule it and send the dataset to Slack, email or a CRM).
• Competitor and market research: who wins contracts in your niche, for how much, from which agencies.
• Teaming and subcontracting leads from award notices and USAspending recipients.
• Grant prospecting for nonprofits, universities and startups.

Every row has type (opportunity, award or grant), source, the input keyword and scrapedAt. The OUTPUT record lists, per keyword and source, how many results exist in total.

Run it on a schedule and connect it to your tools

Schedule: in Apify Console open Schedules → Create, pick this actor and your input, and set it to run each weekday at 07:00 (your time zone) for a current procurement and funding dataset. Each run returns the full, current result set as a new dataset.

Integrations (Actor → Integrations tab, no code):

• Google Sheets — append every run's rows to a sheet.
• Make, Zapier, n8n — start the actor from a scenario/zap/workflow and use the rows in the next steps.
• Webhook — get a POST to your endpoint when a run succeeds, then download the dataset.
• Slack / email — notify your team when a scheduled run finishes.

AI agents (MCP) — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client can run it as a tool: add the Apify MCP server https://mcp.apify.com?actors=kalilfagundes.w/govcon-contracts-scraper (sign in with your Apify account) and ask for the data in plain language. The agent fills the input from the input schema and reads the dataset back.

API — call it from your code (pip install apify-client / npm i apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("kalilfagundes.w/govcon-contracts-scraper").call(run_input={
    "keywords": [
        "janitorial services",
        "cloud migration"
    ],
    "naicsCodes": [
        "561720",
        "541512"
    ],
    "states": [
        "VA",
        "TX"
    ],
    "samSetAsides": [

    ],
    "awardStartDate": "2025-01-01",
    "maxResultsPerSource": 30,
    "maxItems": 400
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('kalilfagundes.w/govcon-contracts-scraper').call({
